We offer a range of academic and vocational courses to suit the learning needs and future career ambitions of all our students. During Year 9, parents are invited to attend an information evening to gain a clearer understanding of the curriculum choices available to their child. This range of subjects together with the guidance provided to each student is called the Guided Learning Pathway.

Progression at 16+

Making the right choices at such an early age can be initially daunting. The link below gives guidance on entry requirements for colleges, universities and apprenticeships. This can often help with making a decision on which subject to follow. For example, studying a second language may not be compulsory but it can really help students who wish to progress to university in future years.

The above form will be available nearer the time of the Year 9 Parents' Evening

GCSEs (General Certificates of Secondary Education) are usually taken at school-leaving age after two years’ study, but are available to students of any age. They are normally assessed by a mixture of internal assessment (coursework) and exams.
